Stay-Awake Snack Cake

• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (3 oz)
• 2 cups sugar (400g)
• 1 cup buttermilk (8oz); sub in 1 c. milk plus 2 tsp vinegar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup instant coffee, dry (18g)
• 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour (180g) (or use all white)
• 1.5 cups all purpose flour (180g)
• Pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon each of any of the following: allspice, nutmeg, ground cloves
• 1.5 cups chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit, more if you'd like
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, generously butter or grease at least a 13 by 9 baking dish. I use something close to 13 by 9 and then an additional 9 by 5 loaf pan.
2. Combine melted butter and sugar, then add in the buttermilk and eggs, all in a large bowl.
3. Combine the coffee, flours, salt, baking powder, chocolate chips, raisins and nuts.
4. Stir the dry into the wet ingredients, combining but not overmixing. You should have an ugly batter.
5. Pour the batter into your pans--the trick is a shallow volume (the cake will rise but get a nice chewy caramelized crust).
6. Bake 40 minutes, until the middle of the cake is firmed up and springy to the touch.
7. Cool in the pan, cut into squares or bars.
8. Stay awake!
